Often, real, collaborative editing efforts require two people to update/edit the same text box at the same time. While O365 PowerPoint shows who is active editing and what slide they are working on, it does not actually show they are doing. Your biggest competitor, Google Slides, does exactly that and it's a huge pain and a source of frustration that O365 has not yet implemented real-time typing updates.

I know links let you watch youtube videos and such.
But is there a way to watch a video as I am presenting my powerpoint? I was making a powerpoint on the Romans. And i had to click the video and pause to explain to the fellow students what was happening since i couldnt see my script. I'd love to see where others can play a video without a link.

Here is what i thought we could do.
Paste a Link from youtube or whatever you may use.
have an option to whether to keep the link as is or embed it as an image and just click play for it to start playing.

The last comment which was marked "COMPLETED" was in 2016 but it's still not implemented. If you want to compete with Google Docs for an actually collaborative work environment, you (Microsoft) really need to make it easier for users to search through the entire deck for a word without opening up the desktop app. This is the age of the cloud and we as users need you to up your cloud game.
